Rug-Pulled Goblins and hidden

Reddit's /r/goblinposting subreddit has been arguing for sixteen hours about whether hidden counts as 'goblin-coded' or merely 'goblin-adjacent.' The mods have not weighed in.

This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. hidden is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
